re: At what point does jogging get easier?

When I ran, I would run three speed days, two distance days, and would rest after the distance days.
Speed days were anywhere from 22 to 30 minutes maximum, distance days were typically about one hour and ten or fifteen minutes.
Rest is important.
AND STRETCHING AFTER EACH SESSION.

I tried the couch to 5k. By the time i got to week four, i hated it so much I would imagine tripping or knocking over people On the trail or throwing things at people. Walking/jogging/running is like torture to me

My condolences.

Thanks man. It'll be eight years on the 17th, but I was relieved when he finally died. He'd been through way too much and the last few months were awful. He was truly better off dead.
I was very tied up with a project on a military base at the time. My brother called me about 6:15am to tell me our father was dead. My immediate response was, "Good." After that, thanks and goodbye. We knew it was coming, not much else to say...
Some of the Navy guys and contractors in my trailer heard my half of the conversation. They knew my father has been doing poorly. One asked, "Is your dad doing better?" I told him, "Oh, yeah. He's much better now."

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but be careful breaking in new shoes. May want to walk around in them some before going on a full blown run

You people put way too much emphasis on the shoes.

Some people just aren't meant to run. Do the stairclimber instead

As for my pace, I'm right at about 7 and half minutes on the mile which is a little bit better than 2 weeks ago. I may try to slow it down a hair and see how it goes.
Too fast for a "non-runner". Slow it down to about 8:30 or 9:00. It will be much more tolerable.

Don't run 5 times a week. That is crazy.
The fastest way to get into shape is to do intervals. Try running really fast for 30 seconds and then walk for 30 seconds. Alternate and do this for two miles. Do this a couple of times a week and you will be smoking your short 3 mile runs.
Also, you can try running at a slower pace on your normal runs. You probably are running too fast.

How old are you???? Do you want to get bigger? If so you should never run.
Weight lifting, eat a ton of calories, weight lifting some more, and more calories. You would gain 10-15 lbs quickly. You could hit 170-180 lbs quickly but be careful. Those stretch marks will not go away. Try to gain weight at a slower pace such as 25-30 lbs a year.

You won't notice til you stop. Improvements will seem minimal. Keep it up pops.

I'm not trying to get to a certain mileage per say, I just want to be able to make a 2 mile run after work and not feel like dog shite for 30 minutes afterwards. I figured my body would be some what adapted by now but I haven't seen any improvement. I guess I'll mix it up a bit this next week and see how it goes. Preesh
I was the same way when I started...found out I was trying to do too much too soon plus my stride was taking a ton of my energy. .and I see today people taking huge gigantic leaps like I was doing previously..but with practice the perfect stride will come

Jogging is very overrated for calories burned
You can easily burn 500 running/jogging for 30 mins at a decent pace.

How often do you replace them? I can't afford to replace 100+ shoes every month.

Define "perfect stride", please.
I'm just getting back into jogging and haven't hit my stride yet. Trying to concentrate on running on the balls/middle of my feet while breathing in through my nose, out through my mouth as well as shoulders back and upright.
I generally hover in the 8:30-9:00/mi mark

Everyone's stride is different. But to me a "perfect" stride would be one that doesn't consume a lot of energy as your body has to keep up with the longer steps as well as most of the time longer strides almost always are heel strikes which can cause joint problems especially of the ankle and knees.
Honestly, I try not to think about breathing, because it only makes me gasp more..but I usually just take in a long breath and exhale after several steps.
